Carrots are used widely in India, not only as vegetable, but also to make drinks, pudding and fudge. This fudge can be refrigerated or frozen for quite a long time.

48 pieces (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 lbs carrots, scraped and grated
2 1/2 cups sugar
3 cups nonfat dry milk powder
2 ounces unsalted butter

Seasonings

1 teaspoon coarsely crushed cardamom seed

Garnish

1/4 cup chopped blanched almond
1/4 cup chopped cashews

Directions

1
In a large skillet, cook the grated carrots and sugar, covered, for about 20 minutes.
2
Add the dry milk; cook, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking at bottom, until no moisture is left (about 1 hour).
3
Stir in the butter.
4
Cook on medium heat until the mixture is of desired consistency that can be spread on a tray and cut into pieces.
5
Add more dry milk as needed.
6
Mix in the cardamoms and spread on a 9 by 13 inches greased cookie sheet.
7
Garnish with nuts.
8
Cut into squares when cold.

Very tasty. My food processor grating attachment made the carrots too coarse so I took my immersion blender to the mixture between step #2 and #3. My first attempt turned out a bit too wet so I had to roll the dough into balls and dip in milk powder for a kind of truffle looking thing. Next time, I'll really cook out the water in step #2. Delicious and pretty nutritious for a dessert!

Awesome burfi, Kusum! This one is so yummy and so easy to put together. I halved the recipe and made it for deesert this afternoon. Came out fantastic. I had no problems at all in the instructions and cooked this to perfection! I am so happy with the end result. It is incredible. I used 23 green cardamoms{we always like a little more cardamom} for this.{Please note once again: I halved the recipe}. I will make this many many times because of its simplicity and awesome end result! Thank you very very much for sharing this. Happy New Year! UPDATE: This barfi tasted very yummy today{which means this tastes better the next day after being refrigerated for 24 hours once made and cooled down to room temperature}. A real yummy way to enjoy this if you want it to be a little more sinful, it to put some barfi in a bowl and drizzle some Nestle Sweetened Condensed Milk over it and then grab a spoon and indulge It tastes YUMMY! Thanks again, Kusum! I can't wait to see my dad and brother enjoy this one once they are back home tomorrow UPDATE ONCE AGAIN: My dad and brother enjoyed it immensely. We even had some guests over the other day and they loved it alot. I made it again yesterday and today, half the tray has been eaten! lol..you have a REAL WINNER here! Once again, thank you so much for posting this!{From my dad and brother, this time}
